I've worked in multiple departments at multiple levels of employment and can definitively say that the hourly employees hold more value than they are being paid for. The work is oftentimes strenuous, but gratifying, and many of our regular customers absolutely adore us and vice versa.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
In my 5 years with DP, the overarching sentiment is that corporate directives tend to be out of touch with actual facility/employee needs.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
More pay to compensate for increased cost of living.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
More pay, more assistance to the facilities that need it most.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Most staff agree that executives needs to make change and disperse more pay toward hourly employees.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Friendly, helpful, fun, and passionate people make up many of the teams I've had the pleasure of interacting with.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Increasing pay to at least match the rate of inflation and give more assistance to existing facilities as opposed to prioritizing acquisition of new facilities.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Friendly, helpful, and compassionate. Everyone I've spoken to is usually on the same page regarding what the company can do to improve the standard of work.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Investing more in existing facilities that need help rather than focusing solely on acquiring new facilities. Many of the existing facilities have the potential for exponentially more revenue, but need more hands-on assistance via funding and staffing.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Nothing is going wrong, per se, other than pay increases not matching inflation rates and increased cost of living, but 95% of the people I've known in this company are here for the paycheck, not because of passion or desire.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Most of us seem to be on the same page as to why we're here and what could be changed to improve the quality of life at work, it makes it easy to relate to each other and build relationships that supersede the otherwise-typical corporate culture sink.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Pay raises across the company, at least at the mid to lower level, have not kept up with inflation. Working for the pay raise rate compared to inflation has provided a near net loss in salary for many employees that have been with the company over the span of multiple years.
